Little Chef

I let Jack make dinner the other night. We had dough and piles of cheese.

Love you, Jack!

Jack is Three!!

Jack is officially 3 years old. I didn't think I would have such a hard time with his birthday. It's been rough. I don't want my little boy to grow up. It's happening so fast. He is so stinkin cute! On his birthday we met Libby and Reiss at the park. The two of them went wild. We had pizza for lunch...one of Jack's favorite things to eat. Later that night, we had cake with his cousins. It was a busy day.

My Little Man

Proof that he is my son...literally dove into the cake. Love him!

Dear Jack

Happy Birthday!

I thought we talked about it and decided that you weren't going to grow up anymore. Little stinker! You are growing up too fast. Stop it!

You mean the world to me, little boy. There hasn't been a day that's gone by that you haven't made me laugh. In fact, you just walked in and asked me to clean up the pee pee. Yes, you peed all over the floor. BUT, you did it all by yourself. You didn't even come tell me you needed to go potty. You know all your shapes and colors. You have an amazing memory and you tell me everyday you want to go to school. You call every dog you see "George!" Except, for the neighbors dog. You call her Bolly. Whenever you've done something you shouldn't have you look at me and ask "Mommy, will you huggle me?" It's gotten you out of time out a time or two. If I ask you to do something and you're not wanting to you kindly say, "Oh, I sorry, mom. My legs aren't working right now. Later, okay?"

Jack, you came into my life when I needed you the most. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to discover the world all over again through your eyes. You love adventures. You never sit still . You make me a better person everyday. Thank you for being you. You are my best friend, Jack. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

And That's How Babies Are Made

Caden has got to be one of the funniest kids I know. Oh, the stories I could tell. But, I'll just tell one. The other day we were on our way home from running errands. I asked Caden to keep talking to Jack because I didn't want him to fall asleep. It was way too late for him to take a nap. The next thing I know he's telling Jack where babies come from. I learned a little something too.

From Caden

Jack, seeds are put into mommy tummy's. Daddy tummy's don't work. So, the seeds go in the mommy tummy and then they hatch in 8, 9 or maybe 10 months. Then the baby comes out. See Jack? That's how mommy's have babies.

Tell Me It Ain't So!!

No way can this little guy be turning 3 on Thursday!

It freaks me out.

A Little Pre-Birthday Action

We had some family in town this past weekend so we had them over for some race car cake. The only thing Jack wanted for his birthday was a race car cake. He kept asking me "Mom, is the lady making my cake? Mom, my cake done yet?" He was so excited when he saw it.

What Do You Think...

was he trying to tell me something?

Reiss is known for his silly expressions. I thought he was just being funny cause I was taking pictures. Next time I will know that this is his potty dance.

Strangers In The Night

Happy May Day

It's always been a tradition in our family to make May Day baskets for our neighbors. It was one of my favorite things to do. I thought it was so fun to sneak up on their porch and leave them a surprise without getting caught. I started this tradition with Jack this year. He thought it was so fun. He was in charge of filling the baskets with candy. I love watching him get so excited.

Here is Jack getting ready to make his first delivery. He had me cracking up! He rang the doorbell a million times so we had to sprint home. I was in sandals trying to run while carrying Jack and my camera. I'm sure it was quite a sight. When we got back home Jack says, "that was close, mom!" Ya think?!

Jack and I made cookies today for our neighbors. I let him deliver them. He kept telling me to go back home...apparently, I follow too closely. I think it's hilarious when he picks out his attire. I love this kid...even if he does tell me I talk to much.

I'm sorry but if you just don't want to eat up this little boy then you can't be normal. Just look at that silly face.

Don't Hold Back Jack

The other day little boy and I were driving in the car. I was telling him something when he cuts me off and says "You talk to much, Mom."

Wow.

BoonDocks

This week was Spring Break for my nephew, Caden. So, my sister and I took the boys to BoonDocks. Jack loved it!! They had "racers" there...he was totally in his element. I just love this kid...even when he tries my patience.

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came to our house and left a mess! Yes, a mess. When Jack opened our bedroom door there was a trail of eggs leading downstairs. Oh, this bothered him. I thought for sure I would get a "MOM! THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!" Nope. I got this instead "(GASP) Easter Bunny go to time out! Mom, I show you!!! Easter Bunny made a mess!" I let him know it was okay and he finally had fun with it. He loved all the treats and little things that were left in his basket.

Jack totally posed for this picture on his own. I was cracking up.
